I could care less about the flea, but for sure get it in the game already. People love it (for whatever reason) and so what is there is a locust already to whomever used that as a reason not to bring in the flea? I want a thug so bad even though it's essentially an awesome. Give us every mech available to our time period. Doesn't matter if someone thinks it's redundant. Also don't forget the Mackie!

The way I see it, we need the Flea for two reasons:

1. The concept art was done, a story was written, and we were told it would be included.

2. A lot of people really want it, and PGI could win some serious brownie points for giving them what they want.

I do not want one, but I cannot really see a reason to NOT add it. Sure, it will not be the tryhard mech of the month, but who cares? We have plenty of those already.

I want it.

If its smaller and faster than the locust, then it will probably be viable.

It will also need some uber cooldown perks.

1000% cooldown perk for MG should be acceptable.

I can't even have the mech I want in the game, as PGI doesn't have melee physics in the game, the HCT-3F/HCT-5D Hatchetman, I want to be able to run in guns blazing (while strategically sticking to cover) and then lob someones softened up arm or leg off, like I did in the tabletop game.

I'm originally an IS player. Got my first mech, an Atlas-K, first headshot with it too. Got my Ace of Spades in a Locust with 500+ damage.

I really want a Flea lol.

Only reason I went clan was convenience of play time cause my old job was all over the place and I never had a set play time.

Equip enough jump jets, and the Spider looks down on EVERYTHING.

Oh man got burned such rektd.. really tho the kodiak will more then likely be in the game before the flea ever would. really its not my top choice in russ's tweet. The flea is like a poor small creature that just needs to be put down. not cause of metaness, just cause its just bad.

I personally was looking forward to the mech, but I assume it was cancelled for the locust, the locust is definitely the better mech but the flea has always had a place in my heartPosted Image

No! If the spider can make it into the game, so can the Flea.

PGI could always have an event like the Urbanmech. They could take preorders and if enough people put their money down, they make the mech. If not enough is raised, people get their money back and it doesn't get made. I don't think that would be unreasonable.

Well word on the street is it's the next mech for us to get. Oh i do hope they make it into a bundle like the others. Think i'd get the $40USD package and the Hero.

Assuming that is the case, considering it's a (very light) Light, I feel they should drop the price a bit. Like say 33% less than the Warhammer package.
